It was bitter cold in Alta, Canada last Sunday. Brad Slater, a train conductor, was walking his train in Wainwright that morning when he heard a cat cry out for help.

"I found this little guy under our second engine by the wheels in -39 C (-38 F)," Brad Slater said. "He either was there from Saskatoon or even Winnipeg. He was covered in snow and ice."

Brad tried to talk to the cat in hopes to coax him out. "He had barely reached out his arms and called, 'c'mon little buddy,' when the frozen little body nearly leapt into his arms," William Munsey, Brad's co-worker, said.

After getting some much-needed warmth, the cat let out a loud meow and crawled out from the shirt and jumped on Brad's lap, wiping his face against his arm as if he was telling his burly, bearded friend, "Thank you for saving my life."

The cat was very thirsty and hungry. At the time, the only food they could find was beef jerky. "He crushed 250ml of water instantly and half a big chief beef jerky," Brad said.
